ADDENBROOKE'S Hospital has one of the best mortality rates in the country

I'm not sure if this sentence expresses the intended meaning. To me, it reads "if you want to die, go to Addenbrooke's"

LOL

Yes, they really wanted to say "lowest", didn't they?

BTW - I looked for my Echo Mic box last night, for the hilarious mistranslations, but couldn't find it! I fear someone may have tidied it into a bin! :(

well the 'best' mortality rate would be the lowest surely? Doesn't seem that odd to me.

I've been there twice and not died, so it must be true.

Heh - this is why the English language invented words like 'highest' and 'lowest', really.

[jupiter-jones.livejournal.com]

but you didn't die in others either. so nothing to compare or to set up proper statistics ;-)
